Season 2 had the best startup portrayal. House full of hackers and game fanatics. Fantastic energy. I even bought a shirt with the Mutiny logo.

Yep. It probably works quite well even between desktop, laptop and Android devices, but personally I have a home server running one instance. This allows me to always have the latest copies of files available for any of my devices and that's where the backups live too. Probably a Hetzner box or something should be quite cost effective way to have the same benefits.
I loved the first time I watched it. However, when I started watching it again, I could not - while I absolutely loved the show, it always left me a little sad for them..

A better option than a wildcard domain with spam filtering is a server where there is zero spam filtering and each unique address goes to a unique folder. Then you have much more opportunity to detect leaks to spammers.

In truth I normally do both. I'll send an email flagging that there is a blocker I want to discuss at the next relevant opportunity.

So can I use Rust's std on RustyHermit?
Yeah, this is an unfortunate consequence of having the whole ecosystem mostly within academia, including the lack of tutorials and proper documentation (e.g. not a 500 page standard).

IMO the most interesting place right now for semantic web development is Wikidata. It's still pretty difficult for newcomers to contribute (as is the case for all Wikimedia projects) but at least it has many eyeballs and a very active community / ecosystem.

Looks like full on propaganda for a smear campaign.

"Concerned "Parents" are worried that video games might cause kids to become violent murderers kind. "

This is just mainstream media and their lackeys blowing up things out of proportion just to prevent Signal from getting popular.
Yes, but you don't need Go to run it. You can just download a pre-compiled binary from the releases page.
Yes you are correct that the framebuffer shouldn't have to be copied anywhere. Intel processors wouldn't be good for gaming, still there would probably be a set of games for casual gamers where they might suffice.

As per my understanding NNENC isn't present in all GPUs since it is not something that all gamers would require. And since this is not something that most people want it's not clearly advertised in CPUs.

So to further clarify here is the task: To render graphics 2d or 3d on an APU and then compress this with HW accelerated encoding. The video stream can then be transferred via say Wifi to the VR device or phone.

I am so curious as to whether there is an APU that supports this. While state of the art APUs obviously always will lag behind a dedicated GPU, there are performance advantages for example since there is less latency while they share the same ship etc..

Obviously my aim here is not to figure out the perfect gaming rig, but rather try to figure out what APU could support VR over wireless so to speak. Which might be sort of nieche but I'm sure could solve some category of problems.

This is different country to country, but in places where I've lived, 'breads' don't have added sugar at all. In France that kind of bread would be called a brioche, in the Netherlands suikerbrood (sugerbread). Generally it's thought of as a pastry, not bread.
Maybe a good indicator that there is only minor (industry) need/benefit. The "biggest" Knowledge Graph is Google, but it is unclear, how much there is actually Semantic Web and how much search, ML, NLP etc..

They are all nice ideas, but the practical usecases are rare. I am skeptical of the often touted usecase in Medicine/Drug Interactions. The only time i saw it in the industry, it was not really used by the lab technicians. Because all questions the system could answer, were trivial. The promise of "the system can inference new combinations/interactions" was never fulfilled.
It's the same logic by which NGOs send physical mail and even small gifts like greetings cards and personalized stationery encouraging people to donate again:

That's not what I'm donating to an NGO for, but if doing so nets them more donations usable for their causes in the end, that's something I can get behind.

If Mozilla can find ways to generate additional income that also align with their values and don't put them into conflicts of interest, I can get behind that. (The management isn't exactly known for frugality and excellence in resource allocation though, so I'm taking it with a grain of salt.)

Gov.UK is built around an assumption users have no or broken JavaScript, based on some of their research into how people use the site. When running at scale, they found about 1 in 93 visitors didn't have working JavaScript. [1]

Mid startup hustle it makes sense for people to start ignoring this. But if you adopt a mindset of serving users, you'll quickly see why they went with this approach - progressive enhancement of the site based on the capabilities that work, with a fully functional experience extending from lynx and upwards.

Can someone extrapolate what happens (hopefully) in a half a year when we get to herd immunity and the economy opens fully when a lot of these people (I'm guessing) will decide to cash-in in their stocks in order to go to a nice vacation, get a new car ect.

More like farther away. Put a spy satellite in a high orbit like traditional satellite internet and it'll be able to see half of Starlink simultaneously with essentially no distortion.

If they were strongly encrypted there may be no reason for a nation state to observe the intersatellite links, but I wouldn't expect this at least for the near future since Elon's focus will probably be to cut corners to get the absolute best performance possible.

Sure, and if you squint hard enough, there are similarities between having a warning label slapped on your Tweets and being thrown in a gulag for decades.

Other democratic countries are looking at the US elections with confusion.

Voting machines are by design undemocratic even if they act exactly as advertised. They allow centralization of vote counting, they are opaque mechanism and single point of failure which by themselves can cast doubt on the whole process.

The entire premise of democratic elections is that the government proves to the little citizen its supported by other citizens. A process which involves the government telling the little citizen the little citizen didn't provide evidence of widespread fraud isn't democratic, how can the little citizen hope to prove to the almighty government anything?

I'm sickened by the thought the same sham notion of elections can reach my country with the support of Facebook and Twitter.
It occurs to me that when the work is too much and people can't keep up, the solution is to pool resources. Many of the comments on that article talk about the reticence of package maintainers to continue with fiercely complex packages. That appears to be the real problem, aside from what sounds like constant gotchas imposed by Google. It feels like a solution is a cross distribution package with bundled dependencies, maybe through Flatpak or an AppImage.

Very mundane I'm afraid. Worked for a MS subsidiary, on an online game for xbox and PC. Developed on windows, using visual studio and deployed on azure, used TFS for bug tracking. All of the above costs were tracked rigorously, and charged to the project. Most frustrating was complying with the visual studio licenses across the board, with no assistance from the licensing team. We had an account manager for all of the above but my understanding is that he was more of an auditor than anything else.
Rook (with Ceph underneath) is great for when you need Persistent Volume support on a cloud that does not have a block storage service (like EBS) or if you're deploying on bare metal servers.
Facebook End Matter

Noby cares anymore about FB and even not coming back to read comments or to view likes. I do have facebook but on a computer no messenger app hate that one and no fb app. Same thing is with my friends and relatives.
As I know people now are back to live video calls. And they use not a messenger app to make a call.

This happend because of lockdown. Users cant meet new people and add them in a Friends list. No new friends no life. Facebook users cant fake a bit more "happier" "better" what they are doing to hang on Likes. Everyone doing the same "nothing special" and if selfie photo is good you sit or you stand near the tree. There are better places to post it and gather your Likes.
Because there is nothing about even to talk in comments about what who is doing in their photos :D everything is closed outside nothing to share so important or special. So Facebook users are moving to tiktok, instagram etc just to show the video or photos with a bunch of effects.

Effects are compensation in the brain of real life expressions. Facebook Likes and comments in the deep past worked the same.

What Facebook can improve to keep popularity atleast for a few months. Create more emojis. I cant find a snow emojis only snowflakes and it's winter now outside. Sun emoji can be more improved someone has to redrow it. Coast emoji is missing. What else I can advice like a user of Facebook from 2007 - no new emojis on Facebook and I am moving elswhere.

The End of Facebook, mean's The End of US Inteligence and marketing. For now all FB Users data are used from all around The World for intel, tracking peole and pushing marketing from US.

Bye Bye and good luck may god bless you.

> As long as I make money too and my retirement account grows what do I care if they take some off the top?

You should care because for long term investing, an actively managed fund is very likely to underperform the market. The vast majority of hedge fund managers aren't doing anything that you couldn't do yourself, i.e. pick a few stocks out of the S&P 500 and hope that they outperform the market.

> The returns I get are way better than I could get on my own.

Look into index based ETFs. They simply track an index so your performance is equal to the market's, so no handpicking stocks or gambling. They are traded like stocks, so you can probably buy them with your broker. The best part about them is that they have almost no fees - the most popular ETFs cost 0.10-0.20% per year.

If you're American and believe that the American stock market will continue to outperform the rest of the world, then an ETF like SPY (tracks the S&P 500) would be a good bet. If you'd like something more diversified, have a look at funds tracking indices like the MSCI World or FTSE All-World.
It's not arbitrary, and to imply otherwise is not arguing in good faith.

This seems to me to be an insightful and comprehensive overview of the Semantic Web, both current status and how we got here. People like me, who have long been wanting to better understand the (obviously sprawling) concepts involved will be able to use the article as a good entry point.

That said, the expressed hope of consolidation in the field is likely still some way off. AI has taken over a lot of the promise that the Semantic Web originally held. But AFAICS there are two drivers (also mentioned in the article) that potentially could provide the required impetus for a reignited interest in the Semantic Web:

Firstly the need for explainable AI, and secondly the probable(?) coming breakthrough in natural language processing and automatic knowledge graph or ontologies from text.

All in all, it seems way too early to write off the Semantic Web field at this point.
Yesterday I was made aware of this example of using a simple (Sinatra/Flask/Express-like) web framework on top of Mirage:

https://github.com/anuragsoni/ocaml-opium-unikernel/blob/mas...

If not mistaken one should be able to use ReasonML[1] as a language frontend with this as well, thereby bringing down the entry barrier.

Just as a side note, its not that people are terrible at perceiving brightness, it's just that brightness perception (like loudness) is logarithmic. So if a person says it is 2x brighter outside, and a linear measurement instrument says it is 100x brighter, that is in fact roughly consistent.
My point is regulators shouldn't be reflexively opposed to decentralization and the retreat of state power. Their agenda should be exclusvely to advance the public interest, and it's by no means established that centralization and state control is always and everywhere in the public interest.

>>I'm sorry, but the institutions are in place today precisely because it is society that upholds them or tears them down.

That's one theory. Another is that the institutions that are in place are there because that was the best we could do with the technology of the time. Representative democracy combined with a market economy was as decentralized as we could go 200 years ago with the communication/coordination technology available at the time.

Another theory is that institutions are a trial and error process, and when they start to fail, people naturally form alternatives.

A reflexive anti-decentralization position by a party wielding regulatory power is reckless and not in the public interest.

And society holds up decentralized institutions just as much as it holds up state-based ones. The former could be argued to be an even more direct expression of society's will, as the maintainers of decentralized institutions are the users themselves, rather than delegates that form their own insitituonal interest groups.
How do you approach researching a topic?
The more and more I learn, the more I find my self weak in researching. So how do you do it? If for example there is a topic I don't know about, how do you grasp the jargon, is there a tool to fetch jargon on a topic. Or how do you approach navigating your way through the mess of search engines, how do you find fairly biased content (not too much, preferably unbiased)? I know reading books is a good idea in this case, however not everything is in books or not in the way I can grasp.

Are there any machine learning tools that specialize in creating a report for things you need, I know of freelancers who do that thing.

How do you do it? What medium of knowledge has the most bandwidth of good information? Is it worth it to go the later pages in the search engines?

I know this is a broad question I am asking, I like to know your opinion and if you have some facts, book recommendations or anything that could be of help don't hesitate to share it.

Thanks for your consideration.

As always should look at metacrap (http://www.well.com/~doctorow/metacrap.htm) when discussing the semantic web

- Certain kinds of implicit metadata is awfully useful, in fact. Google exploits metadata about the structure of the World Wide Web: by examining the number of links pointing at a page (and the number of links pointing at each linker), Google can derive statistics about the number of Web-authors who believe that that page is important enough to link to, and hence make extremely reliable guesses about how reputable the information on that page is.

This sort of observational metadata is far more reliable than the stuff that human beings create for the purposes of having their documents found. It cuts through the marketing bullshit, the self-delusion, and the vocabulary collisions.

in short, engineering triumphs over data entry.

It is a bit hilarious that the main characters, often Cameron, end up inventing much of modern computing. Mutiny is not only an on-line game network, but includes a graphical chat room (proto-social networking), a Craigslist feature, and a BBS. But I do appreciate it for the sake of the show exploring as many of the aspects of those eras of early computing as possible. Even Joe's "working for an oil company" plotline in season 2 reminded me of the time Exxon got into computing:

As far as getting the window-dressing and feel of the time right, there's also Netflix's Black Mirror: Bandersnatch.
There's also a handful of small differences like this, e.g. in C it's possible to construct a value and take the address for a pointer argument right in the function call:

func(&(bla_t){ .x=1, .y=2 });

This is completely valid C, but invalid C++ (C++ has references as "workaround" for such adhoc-constructed parameters which shouldn't be passed by value).
